What to expect on the tour

The tour will be about 2.5 hours long and will comprise approximately 2 hours on the minibus tour itself and 30 minutes at the Crookwell Hotel Bistro, where you can enjoy light refreshments and a mini information display. Children are welcome on the tour, but they’ll need to be able to sit quietly on the bus for the length of the tour. Please consider this, especially if you are bringing very young children.

If you require special assistance, please let us know on the booking formand we’ll see how we can help. You will need to be able to get on and off the minibus yourself, or have someone with you to assist. The tour will involve walking on short sections of uneven ground, however you can choose to stay on the bus if you prefer.

As you will be visiting an operational wind and solar farm, we ask you to wear closed, sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing for all weather types (sunny, rainy and/or windy). Please note that there are no toilets on the minibus. However, there will be an opportunity to use toilet facilities at the wind farm and at the Crookwell Hotel.
